She has not' been visited by a physician inuM, last, fifty years, and in her entire lifetime suffered only one serious illness. The loss of ber sight, which although not complete, leaves her unabl- . to distinguish colors, or persons, yet she is able to distinguish '.daylight from darkness, was the result of a lifetime spent in heavy read?ng ami in needle work. Of xhis latter the descendants have samples of work done by MrsXyfong when a girl of thirteen years. . Events of Her Life. Ivorcnrla Watson was born in Liberty tmvnhip.

Hess, president of the Marshall County Trust anl Savings Co-, is bondsman, with Clay W. Metskcr, of the Democrat. The action of Hess, as president of the local banks in entering the muddle cannot be conjectured by the board of commissioners. - Bonds Are RefusedCharles C. WYdding and Co., the Indianapolis, bondsmen, who bought. the $ 13,000 bonds, floated by the county council, an J' recently sold to the highest bidder, have written, refusing to accept the bonds, declaring that their issue w's illegal.

As the commissioners, are under contract with O'Keefe to pay for the work of repairing the court house, as the work progresses, an emergency for the passage of the above plan exists. County Auditor Walker stated Tuesday thcr- is a prospective buyer of the bonds, who will pay the same rate as was secured at the recent sale of bonds. Other Business.

STATEMENT A MISTAKE.

Transfer to Lake Erie from Vandalia at Plymouth Regarded Dangerous. X Mvspaper s-atenir-ius to th effect that Vandalia passengers, Indianapolis bound, could in the future make quick connections with a Lake Erie train at Ply mouth by changing trains at the crossing of the roads, the journey to the passenger station not be ing necessary, is misinformation, according to General Passenger Agent J. M. Chesbrough of the Pennsylvania lines. The platform at the crossing witli the Ft. Wavmc road is on the east side of the tracks and arranged as to permit passengers to go to that station without crossing the rail road, while to go from the Vandalia train to the L- E. & W. they would be obliged to cross not only the Vandalia but also the "Y" tracks, a decidedly unsafe proposition an'd a risk that the com: panv is not willing to permit. For that reason all Vandalia pas sengers ticketed to points on and via the L. E. & W. leave the! train at t!ie station at PlymouthNew Engine Coming. , Local Pennsylvania officials were advised Saturday morning that the first of the several Pacific type of passenger engines to be built at Altoona for the" Northwest system has been completed and is enroutc here- It is expected about the 10th. The engine is numbered 7511 and it is said to combine speti.il and power to a remarkable degree. It will be the first of jts kind in service on the company'."' lines west of Pittsburg. JURYMEN .

All persons desiring to go before the state board of pardons in March and subsequent meet ings to intervene for the pardon or parole of any prisoner from the state institutions will find themselves Mjcct to a new sc, of rules, which have just been receive 1 distribution. The new rules were substituted at the suggestion of the governor, who found, from the frequent petitions received at his office, that under the old mips, preparation of a case of presentation to the pardon board involved the expenditure of so much' money, that the average jxxir person could not afford it. A a consequence these persons went direct to the governor who was compelled thus to do a great deal of work which really belonged to the pardon hoardRule . of the old list read: "A certified copy of the judgment of the court must be furnished." This has been arranged to read: "The application should be7 accompanied by a concise statement showing the date of conviction, the term of the sentence and the details of the crime."

Chauncy arose from breakfast at the Star, and going to the coar rack for his overcoat found that article of apparel minus- Only one coat was remaining, an old one. Trnjuiry developed the reve"tion that a subscription solicitor from the South Bend News, had been seen wearing the overcoat which was left at the restaurant. Chauncy had blood m his eye. The idea of having that old coat exchanged for his new one did not exactly appeal tio him. He laid hold of the coat, and set forth on the streets of Plymouth looking for Mr. Solicitor. All of the barber 'shops were visiteJ by Miller, whose exasperation increased with the failure to find the newspaper man. FilOly he gave up the hunt, and returned to his employment. Here he was dum founded to find his own overcoat, hanging on the rack, and bounds, he remembered that he had not worn his coat to breakfast, at all, at all. MEANWHILE. The News solicitor returned for his coat, and finding it gone, armdd himself to the teeth, and set out on tlvc trail of Miller. Saturday afternoon the two men kid off, and tip to 3 :00 p. m. were explaining the situation to each other in a down town pic house.
